The End of the Great War - 11/11 observance

There are many observances of Armistice Day in Belgium, but perhaps the most moving takes place at the Menin Gate in Ypres, western Belgium. This is one of the places where hundreds of thousands of American, Belgian, British, Commonwealth, French, and German troops were slaughtered in four years of trench warfare under the worst of conditions. We usually participate with the American delegation in the event. Lots to see and hear, especially Scottish marching bands and other delegations to include the descendants of Sikhs warriors who were part of the British colonial troops.
